Abstract: A pulse combustion energy system including a pulse combustor coupled to a processing tube for flowing material to be processed therethrough, the processing tube being coupled to a pair of cyclone collectors for receiving the material flowing therefrom. An optional recycling section is coupled to the cyclone collectors for flowing vapor from the cyclone collectors back to the upstream end of the processing tube. The pulse combustor includes a rotary valve, a combustion chamber, an inner tail pipe and an outer tail pipe. The combustion chamber and inner tail pipe are conical and tubular sections mounted in longitudinal compression, and the compressive forces are transmitted externally across the junction of the combustion chamber and tail pipe by a strongback assembly. The rotary valve includes first, second, and third closely adjacent cylinders defining an interior air chamber. The cylinders have radially oriented, substantially aligned apertures which define an air intake. Air passing from the air chamber into the combustion chamber passes through an annular passage which impedes air flow from the combustion chamber toward the air chamber to a greater extent than air flow from the air chamber to the combustion chamber. Control systems regulate the product feed rate, the system firing rate, the system flow rate, and the operating frequency of the pulse combustor.

Abstract: In-system programmable logic device which may be configured or reconfigured while installed in a user's system. The disclosed device employs non-volatile memory cells (455) such as floating gate transistors as the programmable elements, and hence the device retains a particular programmed logic configuration virtually indefinitely during a powered-down state. The device is operable in a normal state and in several utility states for reconfiguring the device. The device state is controlled by an internal state machine (520) which executes several state equations whose variables are the logic levels driving two dedicated pins and the present device state. One device pin (470) receives serial input data which loads a shift register latch (505). The contents of the latch (505) are employed to select a particular row of the cells to be programmed and the logic level to which the selected cells are to be programmed. The device normal inputs and outputs are isolated from the device during the utility states, so that the user's system does not affect the device operation during the utility states. A voltage multiplier circuit (530) is included to generate the high voltage level necessary to program the floating gate transistors employed as the device memory cells from the device supply voltage, thereby further conserving on the required number of device pins. By programming a particular memory cell, the user may select the state of the device outputs during the utility states as either a present data latched condition or a tri-stated condition.

Granted: 1991-02-27
Abstract: Un dispositif commande l'embrayage automatique (1) de véhicules à moteur agencé entre le moteur d'entraînement (2) et la boîte de vitesses (3) et servant principalement d'embrayage de démarrage. Un dispositif de commande (5) convertit un signal électrique généré par un appareil électronique de commande (6) en une valeur de commande d'un dispositif de réglage (4) qui dégage et enclenche l'embrayage (1). L'enclenchement de l'embrayage (1) au démarrage se fait à une vitesse de base d'enclenchement (VKG) qui est fonction de la position de la pédale d'accélérateur (7) et est déterminée par un appareil électronique de commande (6) sous forme d'un signal électrique engendré par ce réglage. Une courbe caractéristique (A) spécifique à chaque moteur est enregistrée dans la mémoire de l'appareil électronique de commande (6), de sorte que la vitesse de base d'enclenchement (VKG) peut être aisément et très rapidement déduite de l'angle de réglage de la pédale d'accélérateur (7). Il est possible d'améliorer encore plus la qualité de l'enclenchement de l'embrayage en utilisant des facteurs de correction (K1, K2), par lesquels on multiplie la vitesse de base d'enclenchement. Les exigences les plus élevées sont satisfaites si on règle encore une fois l'embrayage dans le sens du dégagement juste avant le point de synchronisation (S). Le moment et la vitesse de dégagement sont eux aussi inclus dans les courbes caractéristiques (D, E).

Title: Locking device against wrong operation
IPC: E05D15/526
Filed: 1988-09-28
Granted: 1991-04-03
Abstract: For an actuating linkage which can be brought into a plurality of different switch positions and which belongs to a window, door or the like, especially with turn-and-tilt wings composed of metal and/or plastic sections, there is proposed a locking device against wrong operation, which consists of few functional parts and which can be mounted easily even at points of the wing remote from the actuating handle or adjusting mechanism, without a special working of the wing profile being necessary for this purpose. A locking rocker 21 held tiltably about an axle 20 parallel to a wing leg and prestressed in the locking direction by spring force 27 interacts with locking catch elements 23a to 23c on a driving-rod coupling piece 14 guided in an undercut driving-rod channel 12 of the wing 2 and, when the wing 2 bears against the stationary frame 1, is shifted out of the locking catch elements 23a to 23c counter to the spring force 27 by means of an actuating stop 38. A bearing block 25 for the locking rocker 21 has a clampable holding foot part 27 which engages into the undercut driving-rod channel 12 of the wing and over which engages the length portion 17 of the driving-rod coupling piece 14 interacting with the locking rocker 21. The locking catch elements 23a to 23c of the driving-rod coupling piece 14 engage over a locking leg 22 of the locking rocker 21. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A dispensing package which automatically relieves residual pressure on a cream product and dispenses this product in incremental doses is disclosed. The package uses a feed screw (31) to drive an elevator (27) which impels the cream product in a unidirectional manner. The drive of the feed screw (31) is superimposed with reciprocatory motion caused by internal cams which retract the elevator (27). By intermittently retracting the elevator (27) a suitable distance, discrete amounts of the product are dispensed for each cycle and the residual pressure on the product is relieved, preventing it from weeping onto the applicating surface (22) of the dispenser. The dispensing package is well suited to contain and dispense cream deodorants and antiperspirants.
Patent EP-0277837-B1 (EP)
IPC: C12Q1/02
Filed: 1988-02-05
Granted: 1993-08-04
Abstract: Fragments of a biopsy sample on the order of about 50 to 5000 cells are preferred for establishing viable tumor cell cultures for purposes such as establishing cell lines, chemotherapeutic assays and the like. Such fragments retain the three-dimensional cellular structure or organization of the original tumor and, therefore, can be cultured more readily. To obtain such fragments suitable for culturing, the biopsy sample can be enzymatically digested in a proteolytic or nucleolytic enzyme, such as collagenase, or by mechanical dissociation, or both where necessary. The fragments can then be suspended in an aqueous medium so that non-aggregated cells (e.g., red blood cells, lymphocytes, macrophages) and cellular debris will form a supernatant while the remaining fragments containing aggregated tumor cells are deposited in a sediment layer. Preferably, the medium is an isotonic tissue culture medium and decantation is conducted at least twice; first in a serum-containing medium and then, secondly, in a serum-free medium. Fragments containing living tumor cells can be selected by fluorochromasia, that is, by contacting the sedimented layer with a fluorogenic substrate such that viable tumor cells take up and hydrolyse the substrate, and then exhibit fluorescence. Cytotoxicity assay protocols employing tumor cell aggregates prepared by the present techniques are also disclosed.

Abstract: An optical-fiber detection device which involves testing for correct operation is provided with at least one sensor having a sensing element which operates by light reflection at the end of an optical fiber and with a line for transmission of light by optical fibers. The transmission line connects the sensor to a source of periodic light pulses and to an electronic signal detection and processing unit. The sensor includes an optical fiber segment of predetermined length between the sensing element and an intermediate connection which produces a state pulse by reflection. The sensing element produces a measurement pulse which is separated from the state pulse by an elementary time interval. The electronic unit serves to detect the state of operation of the sensor by means of the presence or absence of the state pulse or reference pulse in the signals.

Abstract: The motor driving a minute-indicator in a down counting operation which must count a finite duration is stopped when the terminal post of its control circuit is connected to "earth" potential by an electric line. A seconds-hand, rotating in synchronism with a minute-indicator, effects several revolutions during the counting operation. It is rigid with an elastic arm which, at each revolution, slides on a part of the circuit, connecting the latter to earth. This produces however stopping of the motor only at the last revolution of the seconds-hand, when a contact switch mounted in series with the sliding switch is also closed under the action of a control pin acting on an elastic blade. This pin is carried by a manually operable rocking lever which is provided with a toothed sector meshing with a pinion rigid with the minute-indicator. When the rocking lever is operated, the motor is started due to the opening of the contact and, simultaneously, the minute-indicator is brought into its starting position for counting.
